Office of Productivity and Technology: Design

The Office of Productivity and Technology (OPT) does not conduct a survey to collect data. Instead, data on inputs and output are based on publicly available data sources and data provided through cooperative agreements. The major data sources include BLS data on employment, hours, and prices and Department of Commerce data on output, compensation, and capital.
